A better idea might be to add an extra argument (like bool pointer) to
the 2 format string related functions in the VLC core and set it to
false if no valid format was detected. That way modules themselves don't
have to know how the format string functions work internaly. (of course
the vlc core doesn't know how strftime works either)

Cheers,
